Learning Log 2
From the superstitious lessons, I learnt that different people are obsessed with different belief. For example, God Bless You. During the sixth century, it was customary to congratulate people who sneezed because they were expelling evil from their bodies. Later, when a great plague took hold of Europe, and people began sneezing violently, the Pope passed a law. Since sneezing meant that the person was going to die of plague, people were required to bless the sneezer. However, these belief are actually not facts, they are old-wife tales that have been pass down from one generation to other. I do not believe in superstitious, however better to be safe than sorry, but I don't let them run my life either.
Here is a cinquain on superstitious:
Superstitious
Belief, Luck
Trusting, Lying, Predicting
Foresee the future events
Suspicious
From the Macbeth lessons, I learnt more about the play and know the greed is the root of all evil. We draw 3 witches which represent unlucky. We also did a short play and really enjoy it a lot! We all had tons of funny looking how different groups do act in the first scene of the play. I definitely enjoy how Mrs Woo imitated the 3 witches! I believe everyone had a whale of a time!
I really look forward for more plays in literature! It is indeed very fun and enjoyable. I hope that this will continue for the whole year and hope that there are group works so that we can bond more with our friends. There are be more laughter in the class now are everyone is engage in the lessons. ^^
